For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Tommi of Brown Interior selected Honey-Peach Ice Cream on page 437 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. I really like Rainbow Brown's blog - be sure to stop by her blog and give her encouragement about getting an apartment with an electric stove. Oh dear.

I got to use my new ice cream maker for the second time...and get sucked in by the glory of Target.

I went to Target yesterday and they are having a little summer appliance sale. My friend JustJenn has a bunch of great appliances like a Williams Sonoma Mini-Donut Maker they don't sell anymore! My newly adopted JustJenn motto when shopping: "When I see an appliance, I buy it."

So, when I saw the Rival Waffle Cone maker, it went straight into my red Target cart. And it's on sale for $19.99.

Sweetness, come to Momma.

I so so so love the waffle cone. I love the cone MORE than the ice cream that comes in it.

These cones aren't as thick as the ones at the ice cream shop...but it could be the recipe and my technique! But I am happy with the cones. I have plans for the summer...stay tuned!

As for the ice cream, my peaches weren't the ripest...so it was nice but I think it can be improved with better fruit. Must make again! :)

I picked up these cute ceramics at the Japanese store. Damn. I have been stimulating the economy lately...

on sunday we made frozen yogurt. I told my husband I wanted to try and make homemade waffle cones and he laughed. He said that there are things that no one ever makes, waffle cones included. I'm going to have to rub this in his face. all day.

I was watching Food Challenge last night and thought of you, my dear FL. It was a 10K cookie baking challenge. You HAVE to try to get into one of these challenges. You could have totally kicked those contestants butts and taken the 10K prize!!! P.S. Loved this post. Mmm..., Racheal

One of my favorite things in this world is the chocolate-dipped bowl waffle cone filled with rocky road ice cream at Marble Slab. Your homemade cone is awesome, it's making me want to run out to Target right now!

Ooooh I am so jealous of the waffle cone maker! So the weird thing is that I love a waffle cone the most when it's left out with the ice cream for a few hours and it gets soft and saturated with ice cream. I guess it reminds me of childhood and eating ice cream cones on the beach!

omg a waffle cone maker?? i didn't even know that those existed! i just moved a block from a sur la table, and i can tell already that walking by all of those nice appliances everyday is going to be a problem...
